Bebel Gilberto at Hiro Ballroom on Thanksgiving Eve

John Scher/Metropolitan Talent Presents Thanksgiving Eve with BEBEL GILBERTO, on Wednesday, November 25, at 7 pm, at HIRO BALLROOM, 363 West 16th Street, New York City. Bebel Gilberto is known for her adventurous blends of Brazilian, European and electronic pop styles and ability to connect modern sounds with the heart and soul of Brazilian music. She has also established a reputation as an exciting, energetic concert performer. The New York-born, Brazil-raised Gilberto is celebrating the release of her newest album, All In One with a fall tour that brings her to Hiro Ballroom on Wednesday, November 25th. The daughter of bossa nova legend João Gilberto, Bebel Gilberto’s first recording was released in 1986 at age 20. But it wasn’t until she moved to London in the early `90s, where she became interested in pop and urban music and began to develop her trademark sound. Her international debut Tanto Tempo (2000) helped spark a resurgence in American interest in Brazilian music and sold millions worldwide. Gilberto met with critical acclaim, enjoying global success with the hits “Batucada” and “Technova.” Her music reached listeners across genres, from world music and jazz to electronic and indie. Over the years Gilberto has collaborated with artists including David Byrne, Arto Lindsay, Amon Tobin, Thievery Corporation and Nina Miranda.
